Automatic reactivation of TRC and VSC systems

■

re-enabled in the following situations:
When the engine switch is turned to off.
●
If only the TRC system is turned off, the TRC will turn on when vehicle
●
speed increases.
If both the TRC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-enabling will
not occur when vehicle speed increases.

Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system

■
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. The
EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.
